Top coach: “I think Carlos Alcaraz is someone that handles…
The main draw for the 2023 Mexican Tennis Open was drawn, with Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud serving as the top seeds. The favorites discovered the route they’ll travel over the course of the ensuing week in Acapulco in search of the coveted “Guaje.”
On the 30th anniversary of the competition, it should be noted that reigning champion Rafael Nadal will not be defending his title. Alcaraz, the second-ranked player in the world right now, will play the challenging Mackenzie McDonald in the opening round. If the prediction comes true, he might recognize Brandon Nakashima’s face if he applies the same strategy to German Daniel Altmaier.
The Americans Taylor Fritz (3), Frances Tiafoe (6), Tommy Paul (7), Marcos Girón, Michael Mmoh, John Isner, and Christopher Eubanks are positioned in the same high section of the table. Norwegian Casper Ruud, a finalist in the most recent US Open, will be in charge of the lower half of the table.
A player from the qualifying round will make their debut before an ATP top-10 player. The other favorites in the bottom quadrant are Holger Rune (4) of Denmark, Cameron Norrie (5) of Great Britain, and De Minaur (8). The powerful Italian server Matteo Berrettini is also present in this section.
Due to having to partner with the tournament’s eighth seed, the Mexican Pacheco did not have luck on his side. If he was caught off guard, he would find the victor of the duel between the German Oscar Otte and another participant in the qualy.
The main draw of the most significant tennis competition in South America was left in this condition. What tennis players do you envision competing in the Acapulco Open final in 2023?
Alcaraz enjoyed a tremendously successful 2022 campaign.
Former Serena Williams coach Patrick Mouratoglou recently predicted that Carlos Alcaraz would soon face difficult pressure scenarios.
“Carlos is someone who I believe takes pressure well, but I believe he will face pressure. He may not be aware of it now, but he will feel it when he is there and has to defend titles and the expectations that come with being No. 1 in the world “said Mouratoglou.
“He must resist against attacks from Rio, Miami, Madrid, and Barcelona. The number of points he must defend is astounding. I think he is more concerned with maintaining his standing than he is with points and rankings. I’m here, and I defeated most of the top players in the world last year.”
